City Comparisons

Here, we display each individual grant source and its total funding value. Then, we look at the total funding value for the closest 5 cities (absolute distance) via three metrics: average population, number of fatal shootings, and number of shootings per 100k residents.

For example, the closest 5 cities by population to Birmingham (which had a population of 205,718 people) were:

• Jacksonville, Florida (928,240 people)

• San Antonio, Texas (1,481,669 people)

• Columbus, Ohio (899,799 people)

• Los Angeles, California (3,934,207 people)

• Oakland, California (433,089 people)

For the closest cities by population, we show in red the grant categories where birmingham is relatively under-funded, and in green, those where it is relatively over-funded.
